Lhyfe recently announced that the British government has shortlisted two of its green hydrogen production projects, a significant achievement for the French company's expansion in the UK market. The projects, located at Wallsend near Newcastle and Kemsley in the south-east of London, have been chosen under the 'Hydrogen Allocation Round 2' (HAR2) initiative. The Kemsley site, boasting an 80 MW capacity, is set to deliver 32 tonnes of green hydrogen daily, primarily catering to an industrial entity in the region. On the other hand, the Wallsend site, with a 20 MW capacity situated at the historic Neptune Bank power station, aims to produce 8 tonnes of green hydrogen per day. Both projects will benefit from public financial backing over 15 years through a fixed pricing mechanism for hydrogen production, ensuring project viability and long-term sustainability. This selection not only underscores the British government's commitment to supporting low-carbon and renewable energy ventures but also signifies a positive direction towards green hydrogen technology advancement in the UK, with Lhyfe leading the charge.
